And another competiton begins...
This time you have to pair up two 2000 A.D characters that you think would be the ideal couple and explain why you think they are a match made in heaven.
The answer the judge decides his or her favourite will win a signed print, donated by Jock, and either a copy of Prog 1280 signed by Simon Fraser, Steve Yeowell, other artists and John Wagner or a piece of original Mike Collins art from the Daily Star Dredd.
The winner will be announced on Valentines Day, giving us all an excuse not to go out. Why would you want to spend time with a lover when you could sit in waiting to see who won?
Post your entires as replies to this thread.
Have fun, keep it clean.
Tharg & me?
Durham & count woshisname from fiends.
Johnny alpha & cass anderson.
hey the dark judges could go on a group date with the space girls, you know it makes sense.
I'd say Dredd and Alpha because they're both closet homosexuals.
Just to be controversial of course.
Barney The City Hall Computer ("Christmas Comes To Des O'Connor Block", Prog 144) and The Central City Computer ("Ro-Jaws' Robo-Tales: The Dating Game", Prog 176).
Two misunderstood silicon chip souls, each possessing the power to run a city yet destined for heartbreak, as the people they cared for just didn't understand or return their affection. Maybe if these two got it on the traffic lights could glow that little bit brighter on Valentine's night?
"Christmas Comes To Des O'Connor Block", Prog 144"
One thing I never got about that story- if Barny knew that there was a perp on the run in Des O'Connor block, howcome the judges hadn't already arrested him?
Who wrote that story?
Joe Pineapples and Blackblood.
You can sense the sexual tension ooze off the page... c'mon- a cross dresser and a fascist, leather joy boy...
Lemme see... written by John Howard (aka Wagner). I guess Barney was only meant to be the civic computer, while the Judges had MAC for perp-busting. Maybe Barney didn't want to grass up 'Hunk Smythe' (great name) for the same reason as giving Hunk a fake permit stating he could murder anyone he liked i.e. to cheer him up. Hope that helps :)
Anyhoo, on with the comp!
Chopper & America (before she gets fragged)
Stan Lee & Judge Inaba
Trapper Hag & Mrs. Gunderson (she could be a calming influence)
Bill Savage & Bison (after the sex-change - sparks would surely fly!)
Nikolai Dante & Rose O'rion. Same planet different worlds. Andy Clarke could draw it (hubba hubba) and we could just sit back and watch them swindle, cheat and *ahem* each other.
'I'd buy that f'r a dollar'
rotts.
Halo Jones and johhny alpha.
A valenitnes specail (i mean it)
a chance encounter,
whilst she was on her travels somewhere in the universe.
drawn by gibson as he has drawn johhny superbly back in the days of starlord.
could work if it was a one off five or six pages.
they meet in a bar.two lost souls.set a few months after the alpha has taken his revenge for wulf.
halo has not long arrived to find her friend has not left the hoop.they have both acheived what they set out to do.but now find the end empty and without purpose.
nothing physical would actaully pass between the two characters. but the sense it could of done so easily would linger.
would add another layer to halo jones without in anyway disrupting one of the greastest females in the history of tooth.
but offer us a glimpse of two of the strongest characters in a shared moment of time.
illustrated in gibsons finest monochrome style.lots of shading and detail without actually offering any real action.
Now you see, I was gonna go for Halo and Zenith.
Super-powered shopping on The Hoop. C'mon they're the Posh and Becks of 2000ad!
On a more contraversial point;
Zenith and Nest.
Nobody could ever write that story.
Mills won't want Morrison writing Nest, and Morrison claims Zenith is his baby.
Still if it did get written, the following courtroom battles could be entertaining!
Getcher hands off Halo, you bunch of b*stards!
She's mine!
My submission: Grobbendonk and the Gronk. Just imagine:
"Yesses! Yesses! Yesses!"
"Ooooooohhhh... shuggles..."
(The relationship would be spoiled when the Gronk accidentally shouts out "Oh, Mr Jonnys!" to the disgust of Grobbendonk.)
Keep it clean? Nah.
- Trout
and once again the trout has me laughing out load.
{trying italics}
that was very funny your highness.you realy should consider ptichfest next time.
Keeping it controversial, how about this Galactic hot potato...
Judge Rico Jnr and Vienna
Now, that could have consequences as far reaching as Luke and Leia kissing!!!
Dark Judge Nausia & the Visable Man....
c'mon these guys aren't gonna get any otherwise!
Waldo DR Dobbs and Luke Kirby,
It seems so right and so wrong at the same time, plus they look about the same height. It could be magic!
WoD.
max winwood and isamael cord why c'mon reread killing time and you'll notice they're both gay
Wulf and the Gronk (if it hasn't already happened!). Splitting up might be a little harsh on the Gronk, though.
"Der Gronk, it is over. I von't be your lover any more."
"Oh Mr Wulfs, what wills I do now?"
"You vill be killed und skinned so I can vear you like I do my other exes, ya?"
"Oh my! Can you makes me into a pair of pantses, please Mr Wulfs? Then I can be next to your happy stick forevers."
I'll just get me coat, shall I?
B'stard!
That's probably won you the competition!
Laugh, I nearly died!
It's got to be Dredd and Halo Jones.
After an accident in her spaceship at the end of book three she triggers a dimensional warp and lands in mega-city one.
Dredd could ride to the burning crash-site and then arrest her for illegaly entering the city. After 20 years he'd be retired and they could meet again on a cheesy mega-city dating game as part of a ill-advised justice department scheme for keeping retired judges occupied.
There they would fall madly in love and team up to single-handedly prevent the volgans from taking over the city.
But whats this? Dredds evil twin has returned?! He attempts to kill Dredd and masquerade as him but Dredd returns triumphantly and beats him to death with a zimmer frame.
And thats about it.
J Kat.
I'm putting in Johnny Alpha and Judge Anderson, as already hinted in the 2000AD bash.
They both have the mind powers, so they don't even have to speak to one another, they just need their minds to do the talking...
Cass just better watch out for Durham Red. She looks like the jealous type...

there are some serious issues in the story line suggestions.you know that. lots of animals and rough play, women in uniforms.
i feel so at home amongst you all.
Umpsbay.
I surely can't be the first one to be thinking of Hershey and any other female Judge.
I mean, just look at her, fer grud's sake!
And, with Tatu still....ahem...'riding high in the charts' and all the lezzed-up talk we had last week...
You know it makes sense.
The problem though, is that in recent years some artists seem to have forgotten that really, Hershey is a bit of a hard-faced bitch that's also more than a tad bloke-ish, and just drawn 'some bint with a bob'. Recently, the artist that, in my mind, gets Hershey absolutely bang on is Colin MacNeil. I'm just glad that the days of drawing *all* female Judges so they look like little pouty girls in the S-Club Juniors stylee is long behind us (I'm guessing that most people know which artist I mean here).
Sometimes a tad more research can make a whole lot of difference. If in doubt, go back to the original...
